Abstract
The increase in population accompanied by using LDPE plastic bags in households, traditional markets, and other shopping places impacts increasing LDPE plastic waste. This type of LDPE plastic waste is a problem because it has no sale value then buried in the landfill because of its non-biodegradable nature. So far, the method of decomposing LDPE plastic waste in order to reduce it has been carried out using the incineration method. Gas resulting from combustion in the combustion process causes pollution to the environment and disturbs the health of living things. This problem was solved by using the Waste to Energy (WTE) method, namely pyrolysis. LDPE plastic waste as a feed is converted to fuel oil using 1 unit of pyrolysis equipment by mixing it with a 1% zeolite catalyst at a temperature of 250°C for 6 hours. The volume of the conversion product is measured, and the characteristics of kerosene and diesel fuel are analyzed. The results of the analysis show that the converted fuel oil is a type of kerosene with the amount that can be converted is 1 ml of 1 gram LDPE plastic bag.
